The DS Ruins Everything: WALL-E

I fully admit as soon as I saw a copy of Wall-E DS I figured this would make a great second entry in to this series of truly horrible DS games...but frankly what I saw and tried to play was beyond horrible. In fact I will go on record saying this is the 3rd worst game I ever played. The other 2 are Bugs 2600 and Bubsy 3D PS1.

Okay I fully admit I don't like Wall-E on the PSP, but even that game is gold compared to this pile of crap that's on the DS. At least in the PSP version makes you feel like you're in the film.

But not in the DS version...not by a longshot.

It doesn't even have good graphics on the DS. Cartoony, blocky, and extremely crappy. This game actually make the PSP version look great.

As for gameplay it's more going from point A to point B with obstacles sometimes blocking your way. In other words it's more a puzzle game than anything else.

REALLY...

No Nonsense Review: Super Monkey Ball Adventure PSP

Okay, I admit I didn't know this game was ever released on the PSP until I started looking for a copy of Super Monkey Ball I could play. Totally unique and so different I am still trying to figure it out as I am writing this. First of all the title "Super Monkey Ball Adventure" is it really an adventure game? Yes in a way but more like Animal Crossing where you have to run errands, but that is only Option 1. Option 2 is Party Mode and without the following code, all you get is the racing game. Yes, Super Monkey Ball Racing.

They say this code Unlocks All Cards, which simply means it unlocks all character cards on the Mode Selection Screen, but it also unlocks 5 other challenges in Party Mode, including of all things Tag

While in the Mode screen you input the following code

Square, Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle, Circle

Well worth it.

Lastly Option 3 Challenge Mode standard Super Monkey Ball Levels, hard but fun.

Overall I say this game is a real challenge, some will struggle as this game is tough. While others I really don't know as this game is so fuckin' unique.

Otherwise Good Game overall

No Nonsense Review: Lunar Silver Star Harmony PSP

In a single word, Perfect. This is frankly the best RPG I ever played. Great story, great characters, interesting plot and one of the best control schemes I have ever seen on any RPG.

No Nonsense Review: Test Drive Unlimited PSP

How often do you hear someone call a racing game delightful, Test Drive Unlimited is that and more. You basically see what the life of a street racer is, you actually buy your first car and house at the start of the game after your very first race. Graphics are exceptional, controls perfect, and the way you're actually driving from one point to another between races is a great addition. If you want a different sort of racing game Test Drive Unlimited is the game for you.

No Nonsense Review: Tokobot PSP

I didn't realize how obscure this game was until I started to write this review. So you see the cover, that is why I picked it up and really it wasn't until I played it, (and yes I read the back cover and manual too). But I still had no idea what kind of game I picked up for my money. Even after playing it all I can say it's kinda like Lemmings, but without a doubt one of the most unique games I ever played. That then lead me to this You Tube vid, which I will leave it at that. Just look at the gameplay, could you honestly explain it?

No Nonsense Review: Rock Band Unplugged PSP

Some might think I am taking the easy way out of this review. Saying it's a Rock Band game and everyone knows what they are like. I am and the controls are excellent.
